Bug with space in syn region regex

[jez]

Example

❯ cat foo.vim
syn region foo start=/^ \+\|\tx/ end=/x/

Expected behavior

No parse errors, as this is valid.

Actual behavior:

❯ vint foo.vim
foo.vim:1:29: E10: \\ should be followed by /, ? or & (see vim-jp/vim-vimlparser)

Workaround

Wrap the space before the \t in [ ].

❯ cat foo.vim
syn region foo start=/^[ ]\+\|\tx/ end=/x/

❯ vint foo.vim

❯
